– There are no prerequisites for this course, but it’s designed for professionals who want to build and cultivate their network of contacts. It’s helpful, but not strictly essential, for you to have a list of your contacts in some format, whether it’s a spreadsheet, your email address book, or a more formal contact management system. Mostly, what you need to have is a willingness to engage and connect with people, not for any particular quid pro quo type reason, but because you value and appreciate having a diverse set of contacts in your life and know that it will benefit you and others down the road.
